Instructions

Cats are creatures of habit with short attention spans—that's why brief, scheduled play sessions with your feline are best. Just two or more 10 to 15-minute sessions of interactive play a day is paw-fect and can also help preserve the battery life in your cat's favorite toy. The expected battery life in this toy is 1 hour, so remember to turn it off when it's not being used!

Keeps my cats occupied for a short time

My cats are 2.5 years old. Brother & sister snowshoes. They just lay there & watch this but are not spending much time trying to chase it. The moving lights do not seem to interest them. My male cat likes it better than my female. At least he tries to chase & grab it some. But the positive is that when they are restless & crying for me to play or pet with them (and I play with them often as it is)...it does keep them occupied for about 15 - 20 minutes. For some reason afterwards they play chase with each other. They get bored & like me to interact with them. I needed something else that didn't require me to stop & play with them when I am busy and one or both are verbal for attentionMy cats are 2.5 years old. Brother & sister snowshoes.

It takes 3 AA batteries which do not come with the toy and they run out faster than I would like. They have watched/played with it 5 times for about 15-20 minutes each time and are on the 2nd set of batteries which are wearing down now. They lose interest after about 20 minutes. It is a good toy but not a great toy for my two.… more

My cats LOVE this!

My family just adopted two kittens and we noticed that they like to hunt my daughter's feet when they're under the blankets, so we thought our cats would love this toy and we were right! They've both figured out that there's a cat toy under the fabric, but that doesn't stop them from having the time of their lives whenever I turn this on. In fact, one cat loves it so much that he stands in front of it and meows until someone turns it on whenever he wants to play with it. It's gone over so well with them that I couldn't be happier.
It's easy to clean and doesn't take up much room to store, so that's an extra plus. I highly recommend it if your cats like to "hunt" moving hands or feet.

Very fun toy! Great entertainment!

I have 2 cats that are about 6 months old. I bought this about 2 months ago (when they had front claws) and they would go nuts on this toy and make it stop working sometimes. After we got them declawed, they have even more fun because they don't "Stop" the game from working by snagging the feathers in their claws. Both of them have a great time! One of them has even figured it out how to turn it on! I use rechargeable batteries so they last longer and I just recharge that set when they're using another set. Very fun game they can do by themselves!

Not for an old cat

By MarieCatcat

First, the toy is noisy. A quiet kitty will not like it. The toy is not like in your video, is making noise and has many ligts blinkings, but pretty immobile, because it turns but stop and just bliks. My cat is affraid of the noise, and you never see the fur, is all under the cover. I'm not surprised it's on sale. i wasted my money and time, and will ask to be reimbursed. It's poorly conceived, even if the quality is good. It's solid but it's not entertaining on an average cat (tested on my son's young cat).

My cat LOVES, LOVES, LOVES this!

I bought this, along with a few other toys, for my thirteen year old kitty to amuse himself with during the long winter hours when he's cooped up inside. He plays with this thing constantly, plopping himself down on the floor in front of it and staring at it until I turn it on.
So I'm begging, please, PLEASE develop one of these with a remote control! I'm too old to be popping up and down a dozen times a day to turn this thing on for him.

kept my feral kitten entertained

my kitten loved right when I turned it on.. then my older cat 7yrs old ran over and doubled teamed it with my 6month old kitten.. it was good to see him play.. the older one.. this is a great toy... but buy a pack of batteries..if you have an older cat that lays on top of it so it cant move it will make a popping sound like the gears are being stripped but it still works and just have to replace batteries.. I have a video..

Fantastic Toy

I bought this item for my cats and they love it. They had one similar but killed it. Lol. The little toy under the skirt goes around and it will move from side to side. It will also stop and the lights blink on top then they will go out and the little toy runs around again. I never have to worry about it cause it will go off by itself. It's so cool I just ordered one for my son's cat. She will love it. I highly recommend this

Our big boy loves it!

Our 4 year old Ragdoll loved hitting, pouncing on, and biting our toes under the blanket......so we decided to buy this for him as a fun (and pain-free!) alternative. We both can get pretty busy with work, so it's nice to be able to just turn this on and have it whir for a few minutes while we work and watch him go nuts over it.
It's not very noisy, but it does make that low mechanical spinning sound. We have hardwood floors and it doesn't scratch, even when he pounces on it or drags it across the floor.
It's probably lasted 1 whole month before you can notice that it's running low on juice, but we probably turned it on for him on high speed at least 3 times a day........but slap 3 moreOur 4 year old Ragdoll loved hitting, pouncing on, and biting our toes under the blanket......so we decided to buy this for him as a fun (and pain-free!) alternative.

Keeps Cats Busy

By WBoswell
on Oct 29, 2018

This one is nicer than the last two I purchased in a store. It keeps my cats busy with something to do because they can't go outside.
One slight problem I had was removing the cover for the batteries. The screw is so small that a standard Phillips Head screwdriver would not work and I only have one. I ended up using metal tweezers then used the tip to unscrew it otherwise I would have had to hunt for a screwdriver for that very small size. I suggest the manufacturers either include a screwdriver with this item or use a standard screw, or just have a cover that slides on and off.

My cats love it but it doesn’t work the greatest

By stephf

This toy took a lot to get it to work. Tried several sets of new batteries. It works but intermittently. I have to literally hit the button (I punch it with my knuckle) several times to get it to come on. But once it’s on my cats love it. Chewy would probably replace it but I keep forgetting to contact them about it and now I think it might be too late. I probably just got a defective one but I’ll use it until it completely poops out because my cats really do like it.
